LQPV, Montevideo ousted in 3AA baseball

MARSHALL -- The Lac qui Parle Valley defense committed four errors that led to six unearned runs as the Eagles lost to New Ulm 7-4 in a Section 3AA baseball tournament elimination game Saturday.

LQPV (17-8) scored twice in the first inning on a throwing error. New Ulm answered with an earned run in the bottom of the first, which would end up being the only earned run Eagles starting pitcher Eric Paulson would give up.

Paulson singled in a run for LQPV in the second, then the Eagles tied the game 4-4 in the fourth. Baxter DuFrane dropped down a suicide squeeze bunt with the bases loaded, but it was the only run LQPV would get.

New Ulm (19-5) scored three more unearned runs for the win.

Paulson led LQPV with three hits, and allowed seven hits with five strikeouts and two walks on the mound in seven innings.
